This does not work reliably. I can send you my full code if you like here’s the summary. This fixes the code.

$counts = array_count_values($set);

arsort ($counts);

$modes  = array_keys($counts, current($counts), TRUE);

@bryan awesome, good work on the rewrite for the PHP4 luddites.

@evan No April Fools on this blog. There aren’t enough blog posts made to warrant one a year being silly.

Very interesting. At first I thought this was some sort of lame April Fools joke by the post date. ^^

Heh, I didn’t know array_count_values() existed. This is a lot cleaner than my function. I have modified it on my blog to add PHP 4 support though, sadly I stumble across old versions of PHP often.
